Bangalore, Nov 29 (UNI) All India Congress Committee Secretary Praveen Davar today said that the party high command has planned to restructure the party unit in the state next month to "galvanise" it for the upcoming assembly elections.

"Major communities including Vokkaligas and Lingayats will be given adequate representation while carrying out the restructuring," he said.

Speaking to reporters he said Congress had already begun its preparation for the polls in the wake of the dissolution of the state assembly.

He dismissed that there was any sympathy wave in favour of the BJP, which was ousted from power by its coalition partner JD(S), but claimed that Congress would return to power with a clear majority in the coming elections.

He denied the reports that Congress was trying to form a government with JD(S) rebels support, saying "We never made such attempts as our stand was clear and wanted to go to polls".

Mr Davar admitted that it had extended invitation to rebel JD(S) faction led by former home minister M P Prakash to join the party.
